Sp1000 vs Viparspectra 600?

[Rolling_one]

What's going on guys Im in the market to buy another light for my 4x2, I'm growing 4 gorilla glues from fast buds

I already have 1 Viparspectra 600w but I'm not sure what to buy.

My 2 options are:
Viparspectra 600w
Spider Farm sp1000

Lol, Spider Farmer man... White LEDs are what grow the dank!!

 

[diggs99]

spiderfarm for sure, not even close.

Depends on your budget. They really aren't comparable lights. The SF is a way better product. But your paying way more per watt for it.

Edit: looked up that Viparspectra. Don't buy that. If your getting cheap blurple garbage it should at least be cheap. At least here in Canada on Amazon that Viparspectra is way overpriced for what it is.

the spider farmer will kill the vivarspectra blurple

For about 200 bucks you can get 4 hlg qb288 v1 boards 29 bucks each. and a meanwell driver hlg 240h 48a 68 bucks. a couple strips of aluminum and waalaa great light 200 bucks end easy build. plenty of light and run soft about 60 percent. the big plus the purp haters will go away slowly.

Neither. But if I had to choose it would be the spider farmer.

Where'd you source those 2 huge sheets of... Aluminum?

Well I got those free at work. I read where someone used aluminum cookie sheets. If run at 60 percent or less the heat sinks are not needed with this set up.

Damn, what were those sheets supposed to/used to be?
Cookie sheet builds are sweet. Haha.

Look thru locally, yellow pages or similar. I get sheets like that and even bigger for around 10€ and they do around 250-300w dissipation. 1/8" is the bees-knees. If you know anyone in building or similar locally ask them where they get their stuff from.

We build sheet metal cleaning type machines and use a lot of 304 stainless and 10 ga. 6061 aluminum sheet, theres a lot of drops.

 

[ronintank]

here is a link for cookie sheets 16 bucks each. these would hold 2 qb288 v1 boards.
sheets are 18 ga. 3003 alum. and should dissipate some heat from the boards.
forgot the link da.

[Maxprime]

Recently upgraded from 2 of those same viparspectra to 2 sf2000 and wow huge difference, far far better performance

 

[FastFreddi]

I have a current grow journal. This is my first go around for indoor grow. started grow with 2 300w burples for the first 6 weeks then built the qb lights. so far so good. pics are 11 days old. i update my journal weekly.
